For the Love of MUSIC!

Here is the chair I just completed to go with this... table! I found this old sewing table at a local consignment store a week or two ago and almost passed it up... until something about it caught my eye. The hardware reminded me of a whole note and it just so happened that on a recent visit to my sister-in-law Holly's place she gave me some old sheet music to do what I wanted with...at that time it was for my sister Katie who is a piano teacher and was looking for ways to appeal to her music students with the decor in her music room. Instead I got to use it (she found something else).

So I did. Right away I went to work gluing the pages onto the drawer faces with wall paper paste. Then after they had dried overnight I applied a thin glaze over the top to age it a bit more. After that I covered the surface with more paste...this time Mod Podge and after it had dried applied a polycrylic protective coat in a satin finish. Of course I had to paint the hardware, and prime and paint the desk. Finally I covered the hole in front where the sewing machine would be used with a scrap piece of molding I cut to fit.

And that's it folks! I am really pleased with how it turned out. Hopefully someone at the craft fair will love it just as much :)! Up next, wall decor! Happy designing!
